Generating Controversy

What's that? Obama has a "personal" revelation on gay marriage, just at the beginning of his reelection campaign? Will it be enough to bamboozle the hoi palloi even if 3 out of 4 of them don't like his never-ending war in Afghanistan, high unemployment and a stagnant economy has defined his 3 years, he extends Bush's Patriot Act so he can listen to our phone calls, and his goons grope grandmas and toddlers at our airports? Why yes, apparently, yes it is.

 He has to generate fake controversy like this to distract voters from the real issues, or they will be too pissed off with him to vote him in. Not that his clone in the Republican Party, Mitt Romney is any better.
